There are ghosts of other chapters on my screen sometimes. Ive tried turning on the page refresh, without much luck. Otherwise really liking the weight and feel of it.

Hello JessicaS! I am so happy to hear that you are enjoying your new Paperwhite! Sometimes you can experience ghosting like this on eInk devices such as Kindles but it should only be temporary. And like you mentioned, one way to resolve this is to change how often your page is refreshing. Typically, if you have it set to refresh more often, this ghosting image will disappear upon page turns where you see the screen turn black and then come back to normal briefly. If it is not doing this, I would recommend contacting Amazon Customer Support at 888.280.4331 for further troubleshooting and to explore your options. I thank you so much for taking the time to provide feedback on your experience with your Paperwhite and I hope that you have an amazing day!

I swore to myself I would never get a kindle, but after my husband said we didn’t have room for a home library, I decided to get one anyways (in kindle form). It has made reading so easy AND I am getting to read books from my TBR list and books I never even knew I needed to read. I am OBSESSED with my new kindle and I can’t believe it took me this long.

Purchased as a gift and the recipient loved the quality and functionality. Also likes the light weight and beautiful jade color. There have been no issues with the screen I liked getting it for a competitive price.

Bought for my sister-in-law because I love mine so much. I take it everywhere like the pool or on roadtrips. I recommend this specific one to people who love reading.

If you have the previous generation, keep it! Absolutely horrible and glitchy and only fast if you don't have to download anything! Put on a charger for over 6 hours and still didn't get a full charge. Only had it off the charger for an hour and it's at 88% horrible! Save your money!

Pretty much what the ads say - lightweight, easy on the eyes, holds a ton of books, weeks between charges, etc. Fits in my pocket. Luv it.

Picked this one up for my wife and she absolutely loves it. She did get the Kindle Scribe but there ended up being something wrong with the screen so she returned it to Amazon. So I picked this Kindle instead and she loves this one a lot better. She says its a much better size for her. The Kindle Scribe was too big and the extra cost to write on the Scribe wasnt worth it she said. This one is perfect for her, it has a great battery life and the built in light is great for reading on it anytime of the day in any setting. The Signature edition also has more storage and wireless charging which is a nice upgrade as well. Having to use a computer to transfer your own Epub books you purchased from other sites to the Kindle is a little bit of a pain but not difficult, other than that it's a great device.

It was a gift for my daughter, and she is so happy to get this special edition. With this Kindle, reading is a luxurious experience. You will appreciate the comfort, technology and elegant design…
1- The high-resolution screen is crisp, clear and perfect for long reading sessions. Adjustable lighting and automatic light sensor make reading comfortable in any environment, from sunlight to total darkness.
2- Wireless charging makes it much more convenient.
3- With 32 GB, that's huge!
4- The advantage of “0” ads! No distractions.
5- The matte screen minimizes reflections, so you will love it.
6- Depending on the use, the battery can last for weeks.

I’ve been using the Kindle Paperwhite for a few months now, and it has easily become my favorite way to read. The display is crisp and glare-free (even in bright sunlight) and the adjustable warm light makes it comfortable on the eyes during long reading sessions. It’s lightweight, easy to hold with one hand, and the battery lasts for weeks, not days. The seamless integration with the Kindle store and library apps makes getting new books simple. If you’re a reader looking for a dedicated device that feels like reading on real paper with the convenience of modern tech, I highly recommend the Kindle Paperwhite.

I purchased the Kindle Signature Edition as a more convenient way to read my books without the harsh glare of blue light from other tablet devices. It has been a game changer. The ease of having my collections of books stored in one place with a simple tap of the screen. It is the perfect size to fit in most bags & deep pockets. If you’re in a fast paced city, it’s a great device to have to kill time whether on public transit or while waiting to meet up with friends & loved ones - getting your reading in where you can. The ability to research words on the spot & highlight areas of a book that resonate with you or catches your eye is amazing. Two of the best apps that have aided in my newfound love for Kindle are Good Reads & Libby. You will not be disappointed.
Paperwhite improves in 4/5 areas over the original

I like the paperwhite as an upgrade to my original kindle. Page turning is faster, battery life is longer (though lets be honest 6 weeks for the original is still pretty great compared to smart phones). And the lighting is much improved. It is slightly larger and heavier and though it doesn't seem like 53 grams would be noticeable, it does after an hour of holding the paperwhite over your head while in bed. All in all though, it is worth the upgrade unless the smooth glass feel and slight gloss of the paperwhite is a concern.

The Kindle tablet is an excellent choice for avid readers looking for a portable and versatile e-reader. With its high-resolution display, reading is comfortable in various lighting conditions, thanks to the adjustable front light. The device offers access to a vast library through Amazon, including Kindle Unlimited, allowing users to explore countless titles without the clutter of physical books. Additionally, its long battery life and lightweight design make it ideal for reading on the go. Overall, the Kindle tablet is a fantastic investment for anyone wanting to enhance their reading experience.

It took me about a week to get used to reading a book on an e-reader as I have always purchased my books to put on a shelf. The Kindle Paperwhite SE is lightweight, convenient to pack, and has amazing battery life (almost three weeks worth now). Best part is no eye strain if you like to read at night in bed. Added bonus, if you fall asleep reading, it remembers exactly what page you were on...no flipping pages to discover where you stopped reading. I would recommend to all book lovers and have already recommended to each of my grown children.
